Feature request from this email sent to the mailing list: The only problem of using pdf as an image, is that it breaks the Special:Newimages page, and any Special page or gallery view of images, because it can't render pdf as an image file. If somehow you could not have pdf's show up in Special:Newimages (or similar pages), then uploading pdf's would be great Essentially, the feature request I think would be to allow one to specify a collection of file types which could be uploaded (per $wgFileExtensions) but NOT rendered in pages handling images, such as Special:Newimages, or galleries.
